A/N: Ok, so Carl/Sophia was totally my guilty pleasure. I always thought that it would be them in the end facing the future together. Oh, well.

Word Count: 230
Billy had a girlfriend. So did Scott, and so did Michael, and so did Riley. It seemed like every time he went back to school more and more of his friends had paired off and left him behind. It's not like he didn't like girls; he had gotten over his cooties stage long ago, and he had plenty of nice friends who happened to be girls, but none of them felt right. His mom always said a relationship was serious business and he wasn't allowed to be in one until he found the "right one."
He didn't really know what that meant, but he supposed she meant the person he'd find most attractive. As he lay back in his backyard he decided that his dream girl would have eyes the color of the afternoon sky, because he really did enjoy staring at it for hours. Her hair would be the color of wheat and her skin would be fair, but not too pale. She'd be nice and strong, able to rise from the worst of tragedies, like his mother. But, she could be a little fearful too, so he could protect her like his dad protected everyone.
As he lay on the green grass staring at the sky that his future girlfriend's eyes would match, he could almost see her. He decided he could wait, it would be worth it.
A/N: I sort of made myself sad.
